Chapter 8 Daily Review (2)

"Come on, bring the six people who are still alive to me!" Zhu Yinglong deliberately avoided Magu's case as soon as he came up today, and directly told Li Yongzuo that Dai Xiaolou was assassinating this person in the street.

The six seriously injured soldiers were carried over by the yamen runners. Li Yongzuo was extremely shocked. He had known that Dai Xiaolou had quietly taken his soldiers out to do business, but he did not expect that such a result would be.

"Li Yongzuo, do you still know these six people?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a slap in the auspicious tree.

"Who hurt them like this? Is there any other kingly law?" Li Yongzuo exclaimed.

"I want to ask you, do you still know there is a king's law?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a sneer.

Li Yongzuo shouted: "Master, someone actually beat the imperial officers and soldiers like this. This is like a rebellion. Who is so bold to hurt the personal soldiers of Wei's ministers?"

"Are you asking me?" Zhu Yinglong's heart was like a burning fire at this moment. He had such a shameless and arrogant person. Today he opened his eyes. A group of important officials in the court were all frightened. It's over, it's over. Li Yongzuo was doing his own fault and could not survive. I believe no one dared to plead for him. He had the intention to exonerate a few words for him, but now he has lost this idea. It's best if the whole family dies, so as not to implicate others.

"I beg the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Li Yongzuo had no idea that death was coming, and he thought that everything was under his control, and it would be better if his personal soldiers were injured. In this way, even if the surname "Wu" was still alive, he could still ask for a death sentence.

"Rareless, Li Yongzuo, you ordered someone to stop him in the street with the intention of killing the monarch. The evidence of the crime is conclusive and you cannot deny it!" Sun Chengzong really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and shouted loudly to blame Li Yongzuo.

"Killing the Lord, Master Sun Ge, don't slander someone, how dare I, Li Yongzuo, do such a traitor!" Li Yongzuo was so scared that he was shocked and shouted.

"Bold Li Yongzuo, at this moment, you don't know where you are wrong. Is the king's law in your eyes the law of your Marquis Li or my law?" Zhu Yinglong stood up angrily and shouted loudly at Li Yongzuo with a knock on the auspicious wood.

"Your Majesty, I am not convinced!" Li Yongzuo said loudly.

"Li Yongzuo, you have committed the crime of regicide, what else do you have to accept?" Han Yu stood up angrily and said.

"You two masters joined forces to frame this lord, and it was clearly a collusion!" Li Yongzuo was very angry and turned to Xu Yunzhen, the governor of the city defense army, and said, "Governor, you know the character of this lord best. How could this lord do such a thing as lord killing? This is clearly the two old people who have never died accusing this lord!"

Crazy, Xu Yunzhen felt that Li Yongzuo was crazy, but when Li Yongzuo pointed at his nose and asked, he had to stand up and said, "Li Yongzuo, we have fully known your crime. The evidence is as strong as a mountain. You should admit it!"

In an instant, Li Yongzuo's mind felt like it was blown away. He pointed at Xu Yunzhen in disbelief and said, "You, what did you say?"

"You just accept it. Maybe the emperor can still remember your past contributions and circumvent your family's lives!" Xu Yunzhen sighed regretfully about Li Yongzuo still being obsessed with it. What he did this time was really out of line.

"No, I didn't kill the lord, I don't accept it!" Li Yongzuo shouted injustice.

"Marty, you were wrong, you were wrong from the beginning. The Wufu you asked us to kill was actually the emperor. Wufu is the emperor's pseudonym!" A personal soldier of Li Yongzuo, who was lying on the stretcher, told his master the fact with his greatest strength. Because he had caused the wound on his body, he had severe bleeding from his internal organs. After saying that, he tilted his head and died in the lobby.

"You, what did you say?" This was like a thunder slashing on Li Yongzuo's forehead. He tried his best to pull the dead personal soldier, but the personal soldier could no longer answer him.

Looking back on his ridiculous actions these days, and the lies of the Taoist priest who believed that Zi Lin said that this "Wufu" was the one who was in his fate, blocking his wealth and glory. Now he finally understood that the person he faced was the current saint. There was no such person named "Wu" in the capital. Why was he so stupid? When he learned that Li Heng was his son, he ordered the person who interrupted his son's hands and feet to be an idle person? On that day, Zhou Wenyuan broke into the military camp to rescue people, and he happened to be summoned by the military cabinet. Is this just a coincidence? It was obvious that the emperor deliberately transferred himself to let Zhou Wenyuan go to save people. Now it was too late to understand everything.

"Li Yongzuo, what else do you have to say?" Zhu Yinglong asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, I'm not careful..." Li Yongzuo's mind was blank. He now understood what a cycle of cause and effect is. He was unhappy with retribution. If he hadn't been used to being domineering and not taking anyone seriously, and with protecting and spoiling his children, how could he have fallen to this point today.

"Shuntian Mansion?"

"I am here!" Shi Kefa agreed and said.

"Where is the file I asked you to prepare?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

"I have already ordered people to take them by my side!" Shi Kefa said quickly.

"Submit it to me and see it!"

A yamen runner jumped into the lobby with a load of files. Zhu Yinglong and all the civil and military officials were shocked, and Zhu Yinglong walked down in surprise.

"Emperor, all the files about Li Yongzuo and his son are here, and most of them are evidence of Li Yongzuo and his son doing evil!"

"So much?" Zhu Yinglong and the officials were both in shock and took a breath of cold air.

"Li Yongzuo, in recent years, your son Li Heng has caused trouble to the capital. As long as he sees him, all the girls with a little beauty fall into his devil's hand and are tragically ravaged. But you don't want to discipline them. Instead, you protect them like a white man and even use your power to defend them, making it difficult for the victim to resent. You also have many evil deeds, such as lying about soldiers, embezzling military pay, indulging relatives to sell private salt, occupying shops, etc., and these are not too much to make your father and son linger. You can see these crimes yourself!" Zhu Yinglong flipped through several books, all of which were recorded in the crimes accusing Li Yongzuo of the father and son, as well as the victim's lawsuit paper. There were more than a hundred pieces! Zhu Yinglong was so angry that he grabbed a few books and smashed them on Li Yongzuo's face, and then returned to it angrily.

"Li Yongzuo and his son have done all kinds of evil to harm the capital, and they are ruthless and are indecent as they intend to kill the monarch. The crimes they committed are too numerous to be written. I beg the emperor to take his title, execute him, and kill him, and kill the nine clans!" Yang He, the Minister of Justice, led the head and knelt down and said.

"Let's go, I still have a case left. Although the files are recorded in the real facts, but the things have changed, some of the victims are gone, and some do not know where they are. It is difficult to have a certain crime. If I condemn him with this, he will definitely be dissatisfied. I want him to convince him today!" Zhu Yinglong raised his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, now the evidence of the crime is confirmed. His personal soldiers have personally confirmed that Li Yongzuo's intention to kill the monarch, which is a great rebellion. With this one, he can be executed by Lingchi and eliminated the nine tribes." Zhou Tingru and Taoist, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Yes, the emperor, just for this crime, it should be executed by Lingchi!" All officials responded, and more people wanted to kill Li Yongzuo as soon as possible to avoid him being involved in the situation. Especially those officials who had handled their father-son cases were forced to lose their conscience due to Li Yongzuo's power and gained benefits afterwards. They were eager to push Li Yongzuo out of his way now and behead him.

"I have my own opinions, you all retreat for the time being!" Zhu Yinglong said with a little displeasure. He knew the thoughts of these people. Everyone pushed them. Li Yongzuo's wall was upside down and he would not let it fall faster. In this way, he could kill fewer people. The party above the officialdom was a commoner, intrigue, and infringement. He could still see some clues.

"It is said that the chief of the five villages in Xiangxi sent Magu, the daughter of the old man Sima, to the court!"

"Mimei Magu kowtows to the emperor!"

"No gifts, just keep your body flat!" Magu stood up with his head down. He Tengjiao taught her. When he saw the emperor, he did not ask her to look up. Never raise her head. This is the rule.

When Zhu Yinglong saw Ma Gu lowering his head, he thought to himself, it would be good. If she saw him, she might be able to recognize him. I just don’t know if she had heard some of the previous news just now, but the matter could not be delayed. After the trial of this case, he should confess to Ma Gu.

Zhu Yinglong deliberately changed his voice and said a little hoarsely: "Magu, tell me again about the events of the Lantern Festival on the night of the Lantern Festival!"

"Men's daughter obeys the order!" Magu lowered his head and said again the incident that night. All officials already knew that "Wufu" was the emperor in vain, so there was no reason to disbelief. Li Yongzuo had already looked as if he was dead. The set of lies he carefully compiled was originally used to deceive the court and the emperor. How could he know that the emperor was the person involved, and the target of his revenge was the emperor.

"Li Yongzuo, do you say that Magu entered your marquis' mansion on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month last year, and there were servants from the mansion to testify. Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Yinglong asked Li Yongzuo, who was a little stupid.

"Yes." Li Yongzuo answered unconsciously.

"Okay, I will give you a chance to convince you." Zhu Yinglong said, "Come on, I'll tell you Wu Sangui!"

"My minister Wu Sangui kowtows to the emperor!"

"Get up and talk!"

"You know this girl!" Zhu Yinglong pointed at Magu and asked Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui carefully looked at Ma Gu for a while and said, "Weichen knows that she is the daughter of Ma Gu, the chief envoy of Si Ma Laogong of the Five Villages in Xiangxi. After Weichen escorted the Imperial Doctor Li Qing back to the capital, she followed her. Weichen secretly helped her to lift the siege several times."

"When will the Imperial Doctor Li Qing return to Beijing?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

"On the Lantern Festival!" Wu Sangui replied.

"So, this Aunt Ma followed you and should have entered Beijing that day. Could it be that she would have entered Beijing before you?"

"Impossible, we are rushing along the way. It would be great if this Aunt Ma can keep up. I can be sure that she entered the city after us!" Wu Sangui said.

"Okay, you can get out of the way!" Zhu Yinglong ordered, and Ma Gu also followed the way out and left.

"Li Yongzuo, what else do you have to say now? Magu is obviously not the maid you are the one who rescued by your Marquis's mansion, nor the concubine you said to be for Li Heng, nor is he a flying thief. All of this is your turn and white, buying the servant Ding for perjury, and framing innocent women is simply unforgivable!"

"Come here, write down all the Li Yongzuo's words clearly and let him write them one by one!" Zhu Yinglong said.

Li Yongzuo had already collapsed and pressed his fingerprints on his confession in a daze. Li Heng was even more simple. Under Sanmu, he had brought out everything, signed and stamped, and the father and son were arrested at the same time.

Although the case was clear, how should it be sentenced? Zhu Yinglong was so troubled that Li Yongzuo and his son would definitely die. But how should the servants of the Marquis' Mansion, maids, slaves, and Li Yongzuo's wife be dealt with? According to the serious crime committed by Li Yongzuo, just the treason, males over 16 years old will lose their heads, servants and soldiers will be exiled, women, women are in a lowly family, and they will be slaves and servants for life. But what Li Yongzuo committed has nothing to do with these originally pitiful people. It has been a bit too much to deal with it like this, so Zhu Yinglong considered whether to leave a blind eye to avoid their sins and make a living freely.

I was afraid that these old-fashioned ministers in the court would object together, so the sentencing matter was decided by the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate to discuss and report it to him. He would give another extrajudicial mercy, and give kindness to the ministers to be red and be white-faced by themselves. This not only won the hearts of the people, but also won the reputation. Zhu Yinglong naturally would not miss such a thing as one killer, because as long as he is more famous and reformed in the future, the voices of opposition will be smaller. Moreover, he would use his prestige and reputation to fight against the power of traditional Neo-Confucianism, so he should not miss any opportunity to enhance the hearts of the people and improve his prestige.

So the vigorous case of Ruofengcheng Hou was learned so quickly. Zhou Wenyuan was restored to his post, and the rave Ruofengcheng Hou Mansion disappeared. Except for the expenses of severance, the rest of the property was confiscated. This made the Ministry of Revenue make a payment, which was considered a long drought and a rainy rain. The empty Marquis Mansion was used for another purpose, and later became the permanent residence of King Li Nei of North Korea in Beijing. This is a later story.
